We're all friends here. Besides I think saying things like we Americans/British helped you do X or whatever is completely beyond your right to do so. If neither of you have been involved in a conflict fighting for the other then shut up.

Even if you have, I very much doubt that you fought in WW2 of the Falklands so there is no way you can throw these accusations around, and at the same time proudly add yourself to the group of people that risked their lives to do the other a favour.

A bit of patriotism is fine but shouldn't lead to insulting the other, especially in a nice, friendly forum like this.

Now kiss and make up (before daddy gets angry....)

While I haven't been in the armed forces, almost every male member of my family has...that's why I feel the way I do about my country. I immediately fly into a rage when someone takes shots at MY home, as I'm sure anybody would if someone started giving their expert analysis of why "your country sucks."

Lesson learned - don't post stuff that's just going to piss people off and start wars.

Why don't you wait till OFPEC decides to put a OTD board up before wasting everyone's time with stuff you know nothing about. Of course I've been told that admittance will be very selective so you'd better clean up your act.

I'm British, I was even an officer in the army for a while and I was very proud for it. But I still manage to resist the need to say stuff like that especially if it's obviously starting to annoy someone. Even if you're being simply a little playful, just try to pick your moments and your targets.

Right its not playful its a fair enough question in my eyes, i just get the impression that this chap knows alot about it, and also that the old yankee boys are damn clever so i thought he might shed some light on to my question

Why does one in three threads become a flame-war for no obvious reason. I never understood what add-ons had to do with politics and patriotism. Stay on topic so the mods don't have to step in each time, these people have lives too, you know.

BTW nice one Slik, flame war over and you come in and reignite it, m*ron...
